Meanstreet Lyrics - Tokyo Dome In Concert - Van Halen

At night I walk this stinkin' street past the crazys on my block 

And I see the same old faces and I hear that same old talk 

And I'm searching for the latest thing, a break in this routine 

I'm talkin' some new kicks, ones like you ain't never seen 

This is home 

This is Mean Street 

Yes, ah, this is home 

The only one I know 

And we don't worry 'bout tomorrow 'cause we're sick of these four walls 

Now what you think is nothin' might be somethin' after all 

Now you know this ain't no through street, the end is dead ahead 

The poor folks play for keeps down here, they're the living dead

Come on down, huh, wow! 

Down to Mean Street 

They're dancin' now, ooh! 

Out on Mean Street 

Dance, baby! 

It's always here and now my friend, it ain't once upon a time 

It's all over but the shouting, I come and take what's mine 

We're searching for the latest thing, a break in this routine 

Talkin' some new kicks, ones like you ain't never seen 

This is home 

Mmm, this is Mean Street 

Yes, ah, this is home 

Only one I know

(This is home) See, a gun is real easy 

(This is Mean Street) In this desperate part of town 

(This is home) Turns you from hunted into hunter, ah 

(This is Mean Street) Go an' hunt somebody down 

Wait a minute, ah! 

(This is home) Somebody said "fair warning"! 

(This is Mean Street) Lord strike that poor boy down
